Tammy Abraham has completed her signing for Roma

Chelsea is understood to have inserted a € 80 million (£ 68 million) buyback clause into the deal starting in June 2023.

Confirming the news, Chelsea manager Marina Granovskaia said: “Tammy will always be welcomed at Stamford Bridge as one of us. We all enjoy watching your progress through our Academy and on the first team squad, and we are grateful for your contribution to our successes at the senior and youth levels.

“His many goals in the Chelsea jersey and, of course, his participation in our triumph in the Champions League last season will never be forgotten. I’m sure all Chelsea fans will join me in wishing Tammy a long and successful career. “

The 23-year-old will replace Edin Dzeko as the Giallorossi ‘main forward after the Bosnian striker sealed his move to Inter Milan, a club that also has no natural 9 after the signing of Romelu Lukaku to Stamford Bridge.

Lukaku’s return to West London effectively sealed Abraham’s future, with the Premier League team moving quickly to remove him from the club.

The England international enjoyed an excellent spell with the Blues star during the 2019/20 season under the direction of Frank Lampard.

Tuchel has rarely used Abraham since his appointment and the move will suit all parties.

However, opportunities became increasingly limited with Thomas Tuchel, with Kai Havertz often preferred as a false nine and the German prioritizing a move for Lukaku.

Roma have done their best to get Abraham, who at one point seemed destined to stay in London with the Gunners and West Ham ready to make moves.

In fact, the forward has even admitted to being a huge fan of the club as a child and idolizing legendary striker Thierry Henry during his tender years at the Chelsea academy.

While on loan to Bristol City during the 2016/17 season, Abraham told the Bristol Post: “To be honest, I was an Arsenal fan,

Henry is Arsenal’s record scorer, he won the Premier League twice and just oozes class and was Abraham’s idol growing up.

“It made no difference at Chelsea.

“When you are young and you choose who to support, if it’s a family issue, it’s a family issue. Fortunately for me, it was a family matter, so it wasn’t really a problem at Chelsea.

He added: “Someone I looked up to was Thierry Henry. His spike variations, his movement, the way he dribbles… someone like that has a key impact on me.

“I would love to be as big as him and maybe even better.”

Despite his strong ties to the North London team, Abraham will link up with former Chelsea and Tottenham manager José Mourinho in the Italian capital in hopes of being able to get regular playing time and win a retirement from the Three lions.

The Portuguese manager has also signed Rui Patricio de Wolves, Ibanez, Bryan Reynolds and Stephen El Shaaarawy in this window as he looks to improve from a disappointing seventh place last time out.
